AIM: To study the physiological function changes of the tears film after rebuilding ocular surface with corneal stem cells, and to discuss the validity and the estimate system of rebuilding ocular surface with the corneal stem cells. METHODS: The male New Zealand rabbits were used to establish the alkali burning model in the right eye. The corneal stem cells of the left eye were cultured on the amniotic membrane in vivo, and then transplanted to the right eye. Furthermore, the physiological function changes of the tear film were examined. RESULTS: Compared to the before alkali burning, the ocular surface cell morphology was similar after rebuilding ocular surface with the corneal stem cells, which were cultured on the amniotic membrane in vivo; The tear film breakup time test showed the a remarkable difference between after and before the alkali burning, but the cell modality after rebuilding had no remarkable difference compared to that before the alkali burning. CONCLUSIONS: It's an effective method to rebuild the ocular surface with the corneal stem cells in vivo, the cell framework and the physiological function of the tears film recover well after rebuilding. It may be a validity estimate system of rebuilding ocular surface to analyze framework and configuration of the ocular surface and test the tear film breakup time.

Objective To study the relationship between magnesium level in umbilical vein and mother′s peripheral blood with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and fetal weight. Methods 39 pregnant women with IUGR were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n= 14): The patients were treated with 10% glucose 500 ml + danshen compound 14 ml + low molecular weight dextran 500 ml iv; Group 2 (n= 14): in addition to the same treatment as in group 1, 25% magnesium sulfate 20 ml in 5% glucose 500 ml iv was given; Group 3 (n= 11): no treatment was given; and another 12 normal term delivery women were served as control. Magnesium concentration levels were determined in both maternal peripheral blood and their fetal umbilical vein. Results Maternal serum magnesium level was higher in Group 2 (1 06?0 09) mmol/L than that in Group 1 (0 69?0 05) mmol/L (P

Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine 2017;56(9):650-654
Objective To explore the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-induced endothelial cell damage in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis (DM)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD).Methods Serum free DNA and krebs von den lungen-6 (KL-6) level were tested in healthy controls,dermatomyositis patients with or without interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD and DM-NILD).Subjects' peripheral blood neutrophils were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA),then human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with NETs.The cell morphology was observed by the inverted phase contrast microscope.Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8).Results The concentration of serum free DNA in DM patients [(271.27 ± 76.53) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in health control (HC) [(152.89 ± 37.34) μg/L,P < 0.001].Moreover,free DNA level in DM-ILD patients [(302.67 ± 74.15) μg/L] was higher than that in DM-NILD patients [(235.59 ±63.55) μg/L,P <0.005].The concentration of KL-6in DM patients [(3.08 ±2.07) μg/L] was higher than that in HC [(0.87 ± 0.51) μg/L,P < 0.001].Similarly,KL-6 in DM-ILD patients [(4.00 ± 2.44) μg/L] was higher than that of DM-NILD patients [(2.03 ± 0.61) μg/L,P < 0.005].Free DNA and KL-6 were positively correlated (r =0.251,P < 0.05).The survival of endothelial cells in DM group (53 ± 11) % was lower than that of HC group [(70 ± 5) %,P < 0.001].Not surprisingly,the survival of endothelial cells in DM-ILD group (44 ±4) % was lower than that in DM-NILD group [(61 ± 8) %,P < 0.01].Conclusion NETs could play an important role in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis associated interstitial lung disease,suggesting that NETs may be the potential therapeutic target.

Objective:To analyze the secular trends of height among Chinese students aged 17 in dif-ferent ethnic minorities from 1985 to 2010. Methods:A total of 18 Chinese ethnic minorities’ students, including Mongolian, Hui, Uygur, Zhuang, Korean, Tibetan, Miao, Buyi, Dong, Bai, Tujia, Hani, Dai, Lisu, Wa, Nakhi, Tu and Qiang as subjects were sampled from the 1985, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 Chinese National Surveys on Students’ Constitution and Health. The heights of 17 years old people by gender in various ethnic minorities were analyzed and compared. Results:From 1985 to 2010, the in-crements of adult heights increased significantly in many ethnic minorities’ boys. In 2010, the average height of boys aged 17 years in each minority group was higher than 162 cm and was higher than 170 cm among boys from Hui, Mongolian and Korean groups. The ethnics with height growth rates of more than 2 cm per decade in boys were Hui (2. 64 cm/decade) and Dong (2. 05 cm/decade) and the ethnics with height growth rates of more than 1 cm per decade were Korean (1. 99 cm/decade), Tibetan (1. 90 cm/decade), Hani (1. 80 cm/decade) and the other 9 minority groups. The average height of girls aged 17 years in each minority group was higher than 150 cm in 2010 . The heights showed an upward trend in 15 minority groups, but with different degrees. The ethnics with height growth rates of more than 1 cm per decade were Hui (1. 56 cm/decade) and Korean (1. 29 cm/decade). The increments that were signifi-cant between 1985 and 2010 were Hui (3. 89 cm), Korean (3. 23 cm), Dong (2. 35cm) and the other 6 minority groups ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion: Our data suggest that the increments of adult heights may reflect the secular growth change in the major minority groups during the past 25 years, but there was an obvious disequilibrium among various ethnic minorities. We should pay more attention to the minority groups with poor growth and give them more help. Meanwhile, we should also pay attention to the nega-tive effects of the secular growth trend on those minority groups with fast increasing adult height.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of anemia and its proportions of severity,and to exa-mine the association between anemia and nutritional status among Chinese students of ethnic minorities, so as to provide bases for the prevention and treatment of anemia.Methods:The subjects were Mongoli-an,Hui,Zhuang and Korean students aged 7,9,1 2,1 4 and 1 7 years,sampled from the 201 0 Chinese National Surveys on Students’Constitution and Health.World Health Organization (WHO)criteria for screening anemia (2001 )was used,and the proportion rates of mild,moderate and severe were ana-lyzed.The nutritional status was defined according to the growth references of body mass index (BMI)-for-age z-score for 5 -1 9 years developed by the WHO.Stepwise Logistic regression was used to assess the association between anemia and nutritional status,gender,urban /rural areas,age and ethnic minori-ties.Results:The prevalences of anemia were 4.4%,26.4%,6.6% and 5.8% in Mongolian,Hui, Zhuang and Korean students,respectively,of whom,the prevalence of anemia was highest in rural girls and reached 4.8%,42.0%,9.0% and 6.7%,respectively.Most of the ethnic minorities’students belonged to mild anemia,and the prevalence of severe anemia was 1 .4%,1 2.9%,1 .6% and 1 .9% in Mongolian,Hui,Zhuang and Korean students,respectively.Stepwise Logistic regression showed that the girls,rural students,students aged 1 2 years and 1 7 years,Hui,Zhuang and Korean students were more likely to develop anemia than the boys,urban students,students aged 7 years and Mongolian students. The overweight students were less likely to develop anemia compared with the normal students and there was no significant association between anemia and thinness or obesity when the other factors were con-trolled (P >0.05).Conclusion:The epidemic of anemia was different in the different ethnic minorities and the prevalence of anemia in Hui students was of moderate public health concern according to the WHO’s criteria.We should pay more attention to the prevention and treatment of anemia for Hui and eth-nic minorities in rural areas,especially for rural girls.The nutritional status of students could not be a ba-sis or judgement for anemia as there was no significant association between anemia and nutritional status.
